Establish Fault

Once we determine that your slip and fall accident was the fault of someone else, we must identify that person. By collecting medical records, witness statements, and photo and video evidence from the scene of the accident, we can establish negligence. We will work to identify that one of the following factors exist:

The person’s negligent actions led to the slip and fall accident.

The person was aware of the unsafe situation and did nothing about it.

The person reasonably should have known about the dangerous situation.

Collecting important documents will help us identify that one of these negligent situations were present during your slip & fall injury case.

Because every slip and fall accident is different, so are the damages. It is important that we understand how the slip and fall accident has affected you. We will fight to get you both economic and non-economic damages, such as:

Medical costs

Surgical costs

Temporary transportation

Lost wages

Temporary childcare

Rehabilitative costs

Pain and suffering

Slip & Fall Accident Causes

When a property owner does not properly maintain their property, they put visitors in a risky situation. There are many dangerous situations that can lead to a slip & fall accident:

Loose floorboards

Improper cleaning of wet floors

Failure to place a wet floor sign

Icy walkways or driveways

Foreign substance on the ground

Improperly maintained sidewalks

Defective stairs

Property owners and homeowners have a legal duty of care to provide a safe place to all visitors. If they are aware of a known risk and yet do nothing about it, they might be liable. If they should have known about the dangerous situation but did not, they can still be liable under a premises liability case.

Product designers have a legal duty of care to create a product that is free of risk. Failing to provide the necessary safety warnings, or distributing a product that can be dangerous, can make them liable.

The visitor to a property can also hold partial blame in a slip and fall accident case. If the visitor was aware of the hazard but did nothing to avoid it, they might be liable. Additionally, if the visitor was not aware of their surroundings, they might also be liable.

Pure Comparative Negligence Doctrine

As you can see, it is possible that more than one party is to blame for a slip and fall accident case. Fortunately, under Florida’s pure comparative negligence doctrine, we can still collect compensation for your injury as long as another party is more than 50% at fault. Discuss the details of your case with a slip and fall injury lawyer in Plantation, FL, today at 954-858-5751.

Slip & Fall Statute Of Limitations

We understand that filing a claim is probably the last thing on your mind as you deal with your slip and fall injury. However, Florida law requires that we file all slip and fall injury cases within four years from the date of the accident.

Waiting too long can make it difficult to collect necessary documentation to determine liability. For this reason, it is important to begin the process as soon as possible. Call a slip and fall injury lawyer today at 954-858-5751.
